Report accepted

Hello Fawaz.tairou, thank you for submitting this final report. We appreciate your work on this contest and thank you for nice folklore photos from Benin. I reviewed and accepted this final report with the following comments:

• It is great that this contest helped you to address the content gap on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
• Thanks for providing links to all and winning photos, as well as to the Outreach dashboard that you used to track participants’ contributions.
• Do you have any plans of using these 858 photos on other Wikimedia projects?
• You mentioned that you faced some copyright restrictions. Could you please provide more details about these restrictions?

Thanks again for your contributions to the Wikimedia Movement. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 12:30, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Dear DSaroyan (WMF),

Thanks for the review. We really appreciate all the support you provide to us every day. Please receive on behalf of all the members of the user group, our deep recognition.

• Yes, we have plans of using the 858 photos on Wikipedia during the oncoming contest WPWP (Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos) for which we'll submit very soon a grant request.
• The copyright restrictions are due to the fact that in Benin, aside from the Freedom of panorama restriction, there are several other kinds of restrictions on the cultural heritage. We plan for the next editions to ask for authorization with the ministry before the contest.

Thanks again for all. Best regards, --Fawaz.tairou (talk) 09:14, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
